<br/><br/> Original title: "Noruwei no mori." 
<br/><br/> Toru, a quiet and preternaturally serious young college student in<br/>       Tokyo, is devoted to Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman, but<br/>       their mutual passion is marked by the tragic death of their best friend<br/>       years before. Toru begins to adapt to campus life and the loneliness and<br/>       isolation he faces there, but Naoko finds the pressures and<br/>       responsibilities of life unbearable. As she retreats further into her own<br/>       world, Toru finds himself reaching out to others and drawn to a fiercely<br/>       independent and sexually liberated young woman. A magnificent blending of<br/>       the music, the mood, and the ethos that was the sixties with the story of<br/>       one college student's romantic coming of age, Norwegian Wood brilliantly<br/>       recaptures a young man's first, hopeless, and heroic love.
